HC Deb 08 December 1965 vol 722 c132W
Mr. Clifford Williams

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will take steps to provide houses for miners who will be affected by colliery closures and may wish to move to other collieries.

Mr. James Griffiths

The Welsh Office and the National Coal Board have arranged a programme of some 3,000 dwellings in the areas where there are labour shortages. About 800 of these houses have been completed, and the bulk of the others are in various stages of construction or planning.
